Serious poets edit the hell out of their poems. Spent about 1.5 hours editing this poem, changing syntax and diction, questioning form. I like it. What do you think it’s saying?
If we are friends and you support the Supreme Court nullification of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, ‘Redistricting’ of black populations, and are a Trump and MAGA supporter; help me understand how you can look me in my face and want to maintain our friendship? I probably won’t get many replies to this inquiry and query.
Poet and spoken word artist Emmett Wheatfall this afternoon in my Becker Canyon Studio. Emmett is widely acclaimed for his painterly use of words and can often be found performing with Portland's top jazz, blues, and gospel musicians. We had a great time shooting today and at the end of our session, I was treated to Emmett's recitation of three of his poems. @ewheatfall@jeremywilsonfoundation

These poems confront history, memory, and culture not with fear, but with conviction and clarity.

I'm the guest artist at the Benson Hotel in Portland, Oregon with jazz saxophonist Eldon T. Jones this Wednesday at 5PM. I will perform a couple of pieces with him and his band.
Conducted a workshop today with some teenage poets. They were talented. I felt honored to share with them my knowledge, experience, and modicum of success.
